Let $$b \ne 0$$ and for $$j=0, 1, 2, ..., n,$$ let $${S_j}$$ be the area of
the region bounded by the $$y$$-axis and the curve $$x{e^{ay}} = \sin $$ by,
$${{jr} \over b} \le y \le {{\left( {j + 1} \right)\pi } \over b}.$$ Show that $${S_0},{S_1},{S_2},\,....,\,{S_n}$$ are in
geometric progression. Also, find their sum for $$a=-1$$ and $$b = \pi .$$

A hemispherical tank of radius $$2$$ metres is initially full of water and has an outlet of $$12$$ cm² cross-sectional area at the bottom. The outlet is opened at some instant. The flow through the outlet is according to the law $$v(t)=0.6$$ $$\sqrt {2gh\left( t \right),} $$ where $$v(t)$$ and $$h(t)$$ are respectively the velocity of the flow through the outlet and the height of water level above the outlet at time $$t,$$ and $$g$$ is the acceleration due to gravity. Find the time it takes to empty the tank. (Hint: From a differential equation by relasing the decreases of water level to the outflow).

An urn contains $$m$$ white and $$n$$ black balls. A ball is drawn at random and is put back into the urn along with $$k$$ additional balls of the same colour as that of the ball drawn. A ball is again drawn at random. What is the probability that the ball drawn now is white?

An unbiased die, with faces numbered $$1,2,3,4,5,6,$$ is thrown $$n$$ times and the list of $$n$$ numbers showing up is noted. What is the probability that, among the numbers $$1,2,3,4,5,6,$$ only three numbers appear in this list?
